Games: May 02, Dog Days, Puppet Master, All's Well That Ends Well About You Name: Heather Age: 25 Timezone | Availability: GMT / Weekday Evenings, Weekends Experience: justkevin and ravenclawjase here. Contact Info: See player contact page. The Character Basics -- Full Name: Victoria Anne Frobisher Gender: Female Wand: 10 inches, Maple with a unicorn hair core. Birthday | Age: November 23rd 1981, 17 going on 18. Blood Status: Pureblood. Going back a long way... as far as most know. In reality it's much more complicated. Sexual Orientation | Marital Status: Nominally heterosexual, but curious. Single. Has never had a sexual relationship, but only because she's never met anyone yet who has met her standards, whom she can trust. She says she would never have a relationship with a girl, but if it were to be kept private and discreet, she would be open to experimentation. Logically, she would never know if she liked it without trying. Occupation: Hogwarts Student and Prefect. Appearance: Vicky is of above average height for a female, although not ridiculously tall, standing at 5'9. She is fairly slender but not model thin, and not as curvaceous as she might wish to be. She considers her saving grace, appearance wise, to be her naturally blonde hair which she wears at a length hitting just below her shoulders. As it is her best feature - in her opinion - she usually wears it down unless it is for a practical class. Her eyes are a sort of muddy dark blue. She rarely wears makeup, unless it is for a special occasion, and usually wears smart and sensible clothing, preferring to look clean and tidy as opposed to sexy. Played By: Teresa Palmer. Journal Name: victory_v History -- Hometown: Chelsea, London, UK. Current Residence: Chelsea, or Hogwarts, depending on the time of year. [Former] House | Years: Gryffindor, 7th year female prefect. Family -- Parents --Character/Family History (up until the Battle of Hogwarts):Father: John Jacob Restwold Frobisher, 52. Formerly of Gryffindor House.Siblings? John James Frobisher, 24. Formerly of Gryffindor House. For those who set much store in blood purity, and who are in the know, it is never a good idea to try and rile Vicky Frobisher about having Muggles in her lineage. For one, she really doesn't care – if Muggles were so bad for the future of the Wizarding community, she says, two Muggles wouldn't be able to have a magical child in the first place. Secondly, Vicky is one of the few witches at Hogwarts whose blood heritage can actually be traced back more than a century or two – her ancestor was Agnes Restwold, who was a courtier in the reign of Henry VIII when she acted as lady in waiting to Queen Katherine Howard, a childhood friend. Hiding the fact that she was a witch, as letting it be known would kill her, Agnes left the court when the Queen was disgraced lest she be dragged down with her. Since then, the Restwolds rejected life as high-fliers in the royal circle, instead retreating to the darker circles of the wizarding community for protection, rising through the ranks there instead. Despite this, the links with high society never really let the family go. Vicky's father, John Restwold Frobisher, is a wizard who chose to make his living in the Muggle world for this reason – a former Gryffindor himself, who is a television political editor for the BBC. Wizards who are au fait with Muggle culture will know him from the programme “Westminster on Sunday”, a somewhat highbrow discussion of the week's events. He is married to Helena Bassett, a photographer whose work is popular with celebrities and other famous people who, in her own words, have more money than sense. Interestingly, Helena is the descendant of Anne Bassett, another lady in waiting to Katherine Howard, whose father (Lord Lisle) was arrested for treason when Anne of Cleves was humiliatingly cast aside. Her noble connections entitle her to the honorific of The Right Honourable Helena Bassett, being the daughter of the current Lord Southampton. All this means that Vicky has had the somewhat confused upbringing of the slightly-Muggle, slightly-magical Hogwarts student. Some might say that this is what has spurred her on to be so politically active, as she would wish to find her own place in the world to wipe away the effects of her mixed-up upbringing. They would never say this to her face, however, as Vicky is rather handy with the infamous Bat Bogey hex. There was never any doubt – at least in her own mind – that she would follow her father to Hogwarts. Promptly being sorted into Gryffindor – a pleasing result, as she liked the idea of being able to play up to the daring reputation of the house when she wished, and there was a no stigma to the House these days – she spent the next few years making more allies than friends in other houses, although she gets on well with her dorm-mates. Academically she was not especially outstanding, being slightly above average, although her Head of House says that with a lot of effort, there could be one or two Os in her OWLs and beyond, and anything less than an E at this stage would be disappointing. In the summer leading up to sixth year, Vicky had been spending her time at home in the genteel area of Chelsea, taking part in ladylike pursuits such as riding, swimming and going for long walks in order to relax before the tough year ahead. Until her seventh year started, however, she was cosseted in the Muggle world and only had snippets of information from friends about what was going on. Arriving at school for the 1997-98 academic year was something of a shock... Personality -- Patronus: She has never tried to produce one, but if she could, it would be a pug - the sweet, contented and loyal lapdog to the rich and famous through history. Boggart: A hooded man, carrying rope - like her family before her, she is terrified of being discovered to be a witch and receiving the traditional punishment. Magical Strengths & Weaknesses: Vicky decided to keep her NEWT choices to where her magical strengths lay, for two reasons. For one, the greater number of subjects, the less time in which to study. Secondly, when discussing her schooling with Muggles, five subjects was easier to pass off as Muggle A-levels. She is taking History of Magic (obvious), Potions (Chemistry), Transfiguration (Physics), Arithmancy (Maths) and Muggle Studies (Psychology). History because of her future career path, as she is good at justifying her reasoning by use of historical precedent. Potions and Transfiguration because she is good at visualising what she wants to happen and makes it so, Arithmancy because she is logically minded, and the somewhat conflicting option of Muggle Studies. Some see it as an easy option. Vicky chose it as an easy O, given her knowledge in the subject, and for the personal interest of the Muggle history studied in the coursework. Her weaknesses are anything requiring a delicate physical touch, such as Herbology and COMC. Unless it is a matter of being gentle persuasive, Vicky is not the subtle type and is more of an outgoing leader, as she is now president of the Charms club. She is considering trying out for Quidditch again, although not for the Keeping position she had previously tried out for but turned down. Hey, she's president of the Charms club now - she can always schedule meetings around Quidditch if she gets on the team! Likes | Dislikes: LIKES: Clubs and societies, debate, fizzing whizbees, being analytical, having but not abusing a position of authority. DISLIKES: Being powerless, misogyny, not playing Quidditch, plain food, boredom. Fears & Goals: FEARS: Being outed as a witch, dying, losing all her friends. She wouldn't realise how much the war had affected her without analysing how morbid some of her thoughts were. GOALS: She aims to join the DMLE as a trainee in magical law, and hopefully end up involved in magical politics. Vicky is pretty much an aimiable and kind person, although if solitary for too long, she will regress slightly and dwell too long on her negative thoughts. She enjoys authority but uses it well, and is a fair and considerate prefect who takes her job seriously. She sometimes has what you might call "projects", almost socially adopting someone and making it her aim to improve something - usually cheering them up, although she may also have other reasons. Vicky would never let a word of this out to another person, though, beyond an "I feel so sorry for...". She is secretly very ambitious, hence seeking positions of power in the way that her parents have places in Muggle High Society, although unlike them she has no plans of leaving the wizarding world, however temporarily. The War -- Affiliation? Appearing outwardly neutral, and with parents living outside of the wizarding world for the most part, managed to stay that way and protect herself. Role played in the second war: Staying alive. She had no idea that the DA existed and probably wouldn't have joined, having the paranoia of being traced back as a supporter of a rebellion. However, she couldn't stand the fact the Voldemort had the aim of Muggles. She doesn't feel particularly warmly towards them, but feels that as holders of a higher power, it is the responsibility of the wizarding world to protect, and not harm Muggles. She also lamented the fact that Voldemort's actions were close to betraying their existence to the Muggles in Britain - another worry of hers - and she feared what a maniac such as he could do with the power, once gained. Was your character injured in any way, either permanently or temporarily? Only mildly. When it came to the final battle, she protected Harry from the potential attack by Slytherins along with the rest of her house, as she had then begun to realise what her rightful place was - alongside the others. She didn't last terribly long in the fight, though - soon after their arrival, she twisted her knee pulling another student out of the way of one of the Acromantula. She just about managed to stagger out of the way, when said student insisted upon her going to safety and practically shoved her down the passageway to the Hog's Head. Her injury flares up on occasion, but not that often as it was seen to quickly. Where was your character when Harry Potter won? In the Hog's Head with her leg up on a table. How does your character feel about the end result? Distinctly relieved. Maybe now the wizarding world can go back into hiding and fix the mess Voldemort's reign left behind... Samples -- First Person: I am so pleased to be back at Hogwarts in one piece Looking forward to the start of the Quidditch season - a pleasant distraction from more academic matters will be good for us, I think. Third Person: Having a free period between her classes, Vicky decided to wander down to the Quidditch pitch for a quiet moment. The last time she had been here - not as a spectator, that is - was the year she tried out as Keeper, so the place was somewhat symbolic. It didn't mean failure, as she'd been told she flew better than Ronald Weasley on the day of tryouts. No, it was more a place of opportunity, of reassurance in her own capabilites. Even though this was not a question of academic success, simply being here reminded her that she HAD achieved good things in the past, so why not again? She briefly checked around to see if anyone else there, and satisfied with the level of privacy, she reached into her robes pocket for a hairband to pull back her blonde mane. Pulling out the school broomstick she'd hidden behind the stands - her own was in for repairs and would soon be delivered - she swiftly hopped aboard and soared quickly into the air, viewing the whole grounds from a vantage point above the hoops. This is it, Vicky thought. This is what makes me happy. I feel free.
